Alarmtech GD 335 is a passive glass break detector designed to protect shop windows, glass sliding doors, single-glazed windows, and other vulnerable glass surfaces. It features a piezoelectric sensor that detects mechanical waves propagating in the glass pane, triggering an alarm when glass breakage occurs. The detector is easy to install using the included adhesive kit and connects to a Control and Indication Equipment (CIE) or interface unit via an EOL/NO alarm loop. It operates on a voltage range of 4-15 VDC and has a maximum current consumption of 7.5 mA in alarm state.

Instruction manual GD 335

DESCRIPTION

GD 335 is a passive glass break detector glued on the glass

surface. The detector is designed in the form of two-ter-

minal component. It has to be connected to Control and

Indication Equipment (CIE) or another specialized inter-

face unit like IU 300, in alarm loop configured as EOL/NO

(End-Of-Line – Normally Open).

EOL resistor has to be placed at the end of the alarm loop

providing continuous analogue communication with CIE

drawing fixed value of current.

The detector has high resistance in normal state and does

not draw any current from EOL loop. It has a latching cir-

cuit lowering rapidly its internal resistance during alarm.

Increase of current consumption from EOL loop is signal-

ling intrusion to CIE.

It is specifically designed for surveillance of:

 shop-windows

 glass sliding doors

 single-glazed windows

 other vulnerable glass surfaces in public offices and

private homes.

GD 335 complies with:

 EN 50131-2-7-2:2012, security grade 2

 EN 50130-5:2011, environmental class IIIA

FEATURES

 Detects glass break of float glass

 Large coverage area

 Very resistant to disturbances on the glass

 No sensitivity adjustment

 Ideal for 24-hour loop perimeter protection

 Leads are polarity independent

 Low current consumption

 Completely sealed plastic casing

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

GD 335 is equipped with a piezoelectric sensor that de-

tects mechanical waves propagating in the glass pane.

During glass breakage, a very short vibration pulse with

high amplitude and very high frequency contents is gen-

erated and propagates with high speed in the glass. This

pulse triggers the detector, changing its voltage/current

characteristics.

 Detector has high resistance in normal state and

practically does not draw current from EOL loop

 Detector draws maximum of 7.5 mA in alarm state

from EOL loop signalling intrusion to CIE

INSTALLATION

Warning #1: correct gluing of the detector is vital for its

function. Follow the installation instructions carefully.

Warning #2: GDK 100 adhesive kit must be used for safe

installation.

Procedure:

1. Before installation, test the detector using GVT-500 or

GVT-5000 tester. Use the 12 V output of the GVT-5000

tester to test the detector.

2. Select the spot on the window pane if possible at

about 5 cm distances from the frame. Distance be-

tween the detector and the frame must not be lower

than 20 mm.

3. Clean the glass surface with the cleaning solvent (bot-

tle no. 1). Let the surface dry.

4. Apply the enclosed sticker template for precise instal-

lation.

5. Clean the detector’s bottom surface with the brown

graining pad to remove any grease.

6. Apply activator (bottle no. 2) on the bottom surface of

the detector and on the installation spot. The sticker

template (if used) will prevent staining the glass out-

side the installation area. Let the surfaces dry for 1-2

minutes.

7. Place a small drop of glue (bottle no. 3) in the centre

of the detector’s bottom surface and spread it evenly

in a thin layer with enclosed triangular spatula. A thin

layer is very important for a good and fast bond.

8. Press and hold the detector against the glass surface

on the selected spot until you feel it adheres. (10 sec).

9. Let the glue harden for another 5 minutes before you

start working with the cables.

10. Remove the surplus glue from the side of the detector

using the triangular spatula. Remove the sticker tem-

plate (if used).

CONNECTION TO CONTROL AND INDICATION

EQUIPMENT

Warning #3: the alarm loop with GD 335 detector(s) has

to be terminated with an EOL resistor. Only EOL configu-

ration enables transmission of all events from GD 335 de-

tector to Control and Indication Equipment required by

EN50131-2-7-2:2012 Grade 2.

GD 335 can be connected to CIE input directly – one de-

tector to one input. Alarm loop has to be configured as

EOL/NO and terminated with proper EOL resistor. Alarm

loop should be able to reset.

GD335 can be also connected to CIE with the help of IU

300 interface unit. IU 300 provides EOL/NO configuration

and up to 10 GD 335 detectors on the loop can be con-

nected to one IU 300 unit.
